    good hotels to choose from, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. Since you're on this site
you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are not so many other good spots for that around here. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so pack your sleeping bag.
